LEICESTER

OUTER LONDON

While Leicester has a limited existing life sciences industry, the University and University Hospitals of Leicester are aiming to establish the city as a globally-recognised location within the sector through their joint venture, the Institute for Precision Health, as well as the Biomedical Research Centre. Alongside these centres of excellence, Leicester also provides a strong value proposition for manufacturing and R&D supply chain operators, with low industrial land values and wages meaning that both set up and operational costs would likely be kept relatively low.

Additionally, being located within the logistics Golden Triangle, Leicester also offers the ability to distribute products across Great Britain with relative ease. While the national reach is high, the population accessible within a two hour drive is lower, meaning more localised distribution would be more limited.
